Since the East Indians are the original inhabitants of Mumbai, the bride-to-be on the day of her wedding should keep up the tradition of wearing the 'nav vari lugra' on the day of her wedding in red colour during the nuptials in church and also in the hall during the reception, instead of wearing the white gown, which is not Indian. The bride-to-be, when I was a little boy, wore the traditional East Indian saree, known as the 'nav vari lugra' for her nuptials in church, instead of a white gown. The wedding was also celebrated outside the houses in the open space by putting up a pandal. It was celebrated for eight days. The 'Umbracha Pani' on the night before the wedding was fun. We would go dancing on the roads and bylanes at 12 midnight playing the East Indian Marathi band and singing East Indian Marathi songs. After that, we would all have our dinner and the women of the house would wake up at 4 in the morning to prepare chitiaps and fugias (which were kept for fermenting the previous night) for all the guests who were invited for their morning tea. Those days were fun unlike the East Indian weddings that are celebrated today. One of my favourite East Indian Marathi song is 'Sakalche Para'. The other songs worth mentioning which are also my favourite are 'Ambyachi Dangli Var Baisli Mor' and 'Galyan Sakli Sonyachi'.
@@Anonymous-ee2sc The East Indians are a community of Catholics belonging to Mumbai. They are the original inhabitants of Mumbai who were formerly Hindus but have been converted to Catholicism by the British. The name East Indian have been derived from the East India Company.
Not the original but one of the original communities from Mumbai. We Aagri and Kolis along with other communities have been residing in Mumbai since generations.

Just like parsi community we should conserve the cultural traditions of East Indians community ....
Yes, andTechnically the East Indian community is the original Indian community of Mumbai and other neighboring areas so it should be preserved.
we were forcibly converted to catholicism by the Portugese.
I don't think so. We are converted during Portuguese Rule. But I believe, it was not forced conversions. !
